Hello All,
I was formerly a member of MPHS but over the years I had drifted away (age & reduced mobility/activity).
What has brought me back is that I have now owned MP13641 EV Caboose for about 8 years and just recently managed to get it painted.
I now wish to restore the MoPac markings as much as possible.
I had great plans to do a beautiful outside restoration and contacted MPHS, other museums etc. but time passed, opportunities did not turn up and I (and the caboose) got older. I did not have the money, energy or ability to do what I wanted so when someone turned up t the door and offered to paint the caboose very cheap I decided preservation was more important than waiting for something that was not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone,
Jerry McColgan
